chop cut
A method of trimming newly printed sheets before
folding, in which the large sheet is trimmed on
all four sides but the individual leaves are
trimmed in the process of separation, after which
no further trim is required. This procedure is
largely restricted to economy printing. The normal
procedure is to trim all four sides of the large
sheet, cut it apart to separate the sections, and
then trim each individual section. "Chop cut"
cannot be used if the individual sheet or section
bleeds. (329 )
